Monday Meditations
The ultimate goal of redemption is to make us worshipers. The Lord Jesus Christ said: “…True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” (John 4:23 ESV
Worship, while difficult to define, is the result of being occupied with Christ – His person and work.
This weekly meditation is prepared by Dr. Sandy Higgins. Its purpose is to give believers truth to think about and develop in their own minds and hearts throughout the week. Ultimately, as the week progresses, daily worship will result in hearts full of adoration for the Lord Jesus on the Lord’s Day (Sunday) as believers gather to remember Him.
Dr. A.J. Higgins is a former Editor of the Christian magazine, Truth and Tidings and is well known in many parts of the world for his relevant and clear Bible teaching. He lives in New Jersey with his wife Ruth.
Son and Servant
God has always found everything His heart desired in His Son. No one else could possibly satisfy the infinite heart of God apart from the Son.
A Distillation of Doctrine
“I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.” John 16:26 Consider the distillation of doctrine in this brief Bible verse.
Without disparaging other authors who have contributed to the
The Bones of Joseph
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, “God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones from here with you.” Exodus 13:19
Greater, Mightier, Worthier
But One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals. Luke 3:15-18
Perfect Submission
He went down to Nazareth and was subject to them. The village of Nazareth would view One growing in their midst in absolute submission to His parents because He was absolutely submissive to the Word and will of God. Never had Nazareth seen a life such as this that was being lived before it!
Perfect Consistency
Jesus was twelve when He said to Mary and Joseph: “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” Think of the perfect consistency of His life.
The Sun of Righteousness
Malachi 4:2 “But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings…” Before the Spirit of God concludes the Old Testament, He provides us with a wonderful preview of the coming of Christ to this earth in His glory.
Desired but Not Desired
Eyes were blind to the true beauty He displayed; ears were deaf to the Words of life. Only the Father and those whose eyes had been enlightened appreciated the moral worth of the Lord Jesus. The vast majority of men saw nothing desirable in Him.
Not Room Enough
The windows of heaven do open, and a blessing is sent. It was not overwhelming crops at harvest. Nor was it prominence among the nations. The blessing came in the form of a Person, a Saviour descended from heaven to earth
The Altar on the Mount
Mt Gerizim was the mount from which the six tribes proclaimed blessing upon the nation. Mt Ebal, the mount where the stones with the law was written, was marked by cursing. Where would God place the altar for the sacrifices? It was on Mt Ebal.
